Dune part Two (2024)

 Saw Dune. Zwei. Nicht Drei ;)

here's my and my buddies thoughts of the 1st Villeneuve film.

This time I'm not sure I can gather them for a part deux review...but weirdly enough none of them saw it in the 1st 2 weeks...

My main interest. As in Heroes (old Gods, Almost Dead topic...) Chris Walken is the Emperor Shaddam IV. Sounds like an SNL sketch to many it seems, read a review that considered that to be a grave mistake. Dudes, this is the guy from Deer Hunter, The Dead Zone and The King of New York.

If you know him from a Fatboy Slim video that's your problem. 

The Man is a monument of whatever you want, pop culture, and for some of us bigger than the religions and conflicts of Dune. 

More Cowbell ?

-I didn't care about the freemen, Wonka with blue eyes, Zendaya Mondatta, his mom and his sis. The worms looks great, the dunes are all righy (Jordan), Zimmer pulls some Tubular Bells in the ending, Elvis is a mean Feyd Rautha and Bardem (Stilgar) plays like he's Anthony Quinn on steroids. Shades of Lawrence of Arabia were in the original novel, here there is Star Wars galore, esp. The Empire Strikes Back, the battle on the ice planet, revisited here on yellow sand.  What else? A Gladiator scene in black and white and too little emotion- for me. Not enough cowbell. Amazingly this went straight to Top IMDB #11 (while the 1st film didn't even make the top 250 !!!), let's see how it will do in due time. #3 should be better imo. It has more politics in the plot, less worms and Mu'adib becomes who he should be (a Vader analogy?)

                                                       May the Dude be with you!

  1. Bine că Peter Jackson a avut mână liberă să facă trei filme lungi și grase din cărticica Hobbitul, iar Villeneuve a trebuit să se chinuie în două filme cu ditamai romanul de 700 de pagini ultradense. Ai văzut că e Stephen McKinley Henderson trecut pe posterul ăsta? (nu știu dacă e oficial sau fan made). He ended up on the cutting room floor. La fel și Tim Blake Nelson.. :(

  2. Adica vroiai dunele mai lungi? not for me... Hobbit l-au facut dupa succesul lui LOTR si n-a convins pe nimeni, a fost doar un cash in. dune 2 a fost "aprobat' abia dupa ce a iesit primul. Las' ca il face si pe al treilea...

    1. Da, sunt fan. Îmi place stilul lui Villeneuve. Nu am nostalgii după filmul lui Lynch.
